I don't use right-click to open application menu on desktop. I don't
use desktop shortcuts, either. Actually, I seldom see the desktop
background, as I usually have some window(s) covering it. But I use
taskbar and another always-on-top panel, that provide me information
about the system and give me UI. I am not big fan of dragging
and resizing windows; usually I use windows maximized. It is so fast to
switch between applications using the taskbar. (In my taskbar I first
choose application that I usually identify by icon, then I choose
window by its title.) I am currently using Xfce, but I have read about
some interesting features in window managers such as Ratpoison, where
you can manage windows differently, but I suppose current
implementations are not so easy for beginners.
